MIR Appraisal Services, Inc.
We are MIR Appraisal Services, Inc., a fine art and personal property appraisal company dedicated to serving clients throughout the United States and abroad since our incorporation in 1994. We specialize in the multi-faceted field of appraising fine art, jewelry, antiques, and decorative items. We also provide professional fine art restoration and conservation treatment for various media, including but not limited to, artworks on canvas, board, Masonite, and paper.
We offer professional and precise appraisal services carried out by our team of accredited appraisers for the purposes of insurance coverage and claims, charitable donations, estate planning and probate, equitable distribution and fair-market value. Additionally, we enjoy working for the not-for-profit sector, and have done a considerable amount of work for not-for-profit organizations, in addition to many academic and cultural institutions. Our reports are written by qualified researchers according to the standards set forth by the International Society of Appraisers (ISA) and the American Society of Appraisers(ASA) and also in conformity with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).
Each of our senior appraisers has more than 20 years of appraisal experience, extensive courtroom experience providing distinguished, expert-witness testimony and is an accredited member by either the International Society of Appraisers or the American Society of Appraisers. We pride ourselves on the quality and meticulousness of our research and appraisal reports, and our highly qualified research team is certainly behind this distinction.
MIR's main office is located in the historic Old Republic building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago, just steps away from the beautiful Chicago River and the Art Institute of Chicago. We encourage potential clients to contact our office to speak with one of our knowledgeable associates in order to discuss their appraisal needs with respect to paintings, prints, drawings, marble, bronze, silver, porcelain, rugs, jewelry, antiques and other objets d’ art and personal property. We also encourage potential clients to schedule a time to visit our office and personally meet our appraisers and research staff and to experience our unique working environment firsthand.
